Officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency arrested an illegal alien, a registered sex offender, on Monday. Orange County, North Carolina, authorities had released him from custody in June without telling ICE.

ICE officials arrested Mexican national Udiel Aguilar-Castellanos, 42, on Monday at his residence in Carrboro one month after Orange County officials released him from prison, ICE officials announced Wednesday.

Aguilar-Castellanos agreed to plead guilty to two counts of sexual battery on June 27 for sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl. He had to register as a sex offender as part of his plea deal to avoid prison.

The American society should've collapsed by now, you know that, right?

No society should function with this level of inequality (with the possible exception of one of those prison planets in a Star Wars movie). Sixty-three percent of Americans can't afford a $500 emergency. Yet Amazon head Jeff Bezos is now worth a record $141 billion. He could literally end world hunger for multiple years and still have more money left over than he could ever spend on himself.

Worldwide, one in 10 people only make $2 a day. Do you know how long it would take one of those people to make the same amount as Jeff Bezos has? 193 million years. (If they only buy single-ply toilet paper.) Put simply, you cannot comprehend the level of inequality in our current world or even just our nation.

So ... shouldn't there be riots in the streets every day? Shouldn't it all be collapsing? Look outside. The streets aren't on fire. No one is running naked and screaming (usually). Does it look like everyone's going to work at gunpoint? No. We're all choosing to continue on like this.

Why?

Pranksters place Putin's portrait in Colorado Capitol (where Trump's should be)

Trump's portrait is not on display in the Colorado Capitol building because of a failure to raise funds... but Vladimir Putin's one apparently briefly was. The blank space was used for a photobomb by unknown culprit.

While official paintings of George W. Bush and Barack Obama occupy their respective slots, there is still a blank space on the Colorado Capitol's wall of presidential portraits. Yet, a portrait of Vladimir Putin briefly made appearance right next to the part of the wall where Donald Trump's official painting should be.

Colorado State Senator Steve Fenberg (D-Boulder) published the stunning picture showing Putin's mug on an easel. A Fenberg aide said the image was authentic and was not a Photoshop setup, according to local media.

Comment: Tres drole, liberal dilettantes, tres drole.

Humpty Dumpty deserved to fall: Standing up to compelled speech and 'velvet' totalitarianism

Humpty Dumpty Alice
The fat, pompous egg sat precariously on the wall talking down to Alice and said, in a voice dripping with malign contempt: "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less." Alice, a precocious girl who was not easily bullied, replied: "The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things." Dismissing her objection, the egg countered: "The question is which is to be master - that's all."

This of course is the famous scene from Lewis Carroll's 1872 fantasy Through the Looking Glass. The conversation ended with Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall. Happily all the king's horses and all the king's men were unable to put him together again.

Until now.

Comment: The creeping encroachment of 'velvet totalitarianism' seems to be increasing exponentially, and like it or not Canadians, Canada seems to be ground zero. Only by standing up to these bullies can this insidious culture be halted in its tracks.

A millennium of Christianity: What makes the Russian Orthodoxy unique?

The faithful in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are marking 1030 years since their ancestors adopted Christianity - the faith that would ultimately become Orthodoxy, made unique by ten centuries of divergence from Western branches.

Switching an entire nation's religion was obviously not a single day's business - Kievan Rus', the enormous nation that incorporated parts of modern-day Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, did not simply go to sleep as pagan one day and wake up as Christian the next. 988 was the year that the process started. July 28th was chosen as a commemoration date because it's the anniversary of St. Vladimir, or Vladimir the Great, the prince who came to power over disparate Slavic tribes and eventually brought them together under the Eastern Christian faith.

Trolling the system: Alberta man changes gender on government IDs for cheaper car insurance rates

sex change documents
Redacted birth certificates of an Alberta man who changed his gender for cheaper car insurance. The circles in red show that the certificate on the left reads 'male' while the newer one on the right reads 'female.'
He wanted a brand new car - a Chevrolet Cruze with all the trimmings.

As a man in his early 20s, he knew his insurance costs would be high.

So he became a woman, though only on paper.

"I have taken advantage of a loophole," said the man - we're calling him David - who spoke on the condition that his identity be kept confidential because of the potential repercussions.

Comment: More power to him. If someone finds a way to troll ridiculous new regulations in Canada to play the system to their advantage, so be it. If Canada doesn't like it, maybe they should reconsider their gender-fluid insanity.

That moment The New York Times realizes prosecuting Assange has dire consequences for press freedom

New York Times HQ
Though The New York Times itself has not reported it, it's No. 2 lawyer told a group of judges that the prosecution of Julian Assange could have dire consequences for the Times itself, explains Ray McGovern.

Well, lordy be. A lawyer for The New York Times has figured out that prosecuting WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange might gore the ox of The Gray Lady herself.

The Times' deputy general counsel, David McCraw, told a group of judges on the West Coast on Tuesday that such prosecution would be a gut punch to free speech, according to Maria Dinzeo, writing for the Courthouse News Service.

Curiously, as of this writing, McCraw's words have found no mention in the Times itself. In recent years, the newspaper has shown a marked proclivity to avoid printing anything that might risk its front row seat at the government trough.

Comment: Unfortunately, one lawyer doesn't represent the opinion of the New York Times as an institution, and it's unlikely they'll change their tune on Assange given it would directly contradict the narrative put forth by their masters. It has always been in the interests of a free press to support Assange, yet the MSM has been relentless in portraying him as a traitor, pounding in the nails on their own coffin.

San Francisco's Department of Elections last week made the move to start allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in the city's school board elections, sparking a national debate.

The idea is unlikely to be copied in many localities, at least if the latest American Barometer poll is any indication.

According to the survey, which is a joint project of Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company, 71 percent of respondents opposed San Francisco's decision, while only 29 percent said they supported the move.

Dozens of children in Iowa have disappeared in just the last two weeks

missing children Iowa
While one young college student has made headlines after she disappeared, dozens of children have gone missing in the same state.

A young University of Iowa student made headlines recently after she disappeared during an evening jog - but she is just one of the dozens of people who have been reported missing in Iowa in the last 10 days, and the overwhelming majority of the disappearances are children.

Mollie Tibbetts, 20, has become the latest face of the missing person database this week after she was last seen going for a jog near her boyfriend's house on the evening of July 18, and she seemingly vanished. Dozens of people of have pitched in to help search for the college student, and as she appeared to have no motive to flee, and her closest friends and family members have cooperated with police, it raises troubling questions about whether she was abducted.
